It is important to take medicine every day as directed by your doctor. If you discontinue treatment suddenly, you could have chest pain or a heart attack. If your doctor decides that you should stop taking Cardivas, your doctor may slowly lower your dose over a period before stopping the medication completely.
One must take Cardivas 6.25 mg exactly as prescribed. Your doctor will tell you how many tablets to take and how often. To minimize possible side effects, he might begin with a low dose and then slowly increase the dose.
Do not discontinue treatment or change the amount of Carvedilol you take without speaking to your doctor. Tell your doctor if you gain weight or have trouble breathing while taking Cardivas tablets. Take medicine with food. If you miss a dose of Carvedilol, take your medicine as soon as you remember, unless it is time to take the next dose. Take your next dose at the prescribed time. Do not take two doses at the same time.
What is Cardivas 6.25mg?
Cardivas 6.25mg contains Carvedilol 6.25mg and is the second step in the heart failure up-titration protocol, prescribed after patients have tolerated the 3.125mg dose for two weeks. It is also used as a starting dose for hypertension management and as an adjunct in stable angina. The 6.25mg dose provides meaningful cardiovascular protection while minimising haemodynamic side effects.
When is Cardivas 6.25mg prescribed instead of 3.125mg?
Cardivas 6.25mg is prescribed when a patient with heart failure has tolerated 3.125mg twice daily for at least two weeks without significant hypotension, worsening heart failure, or bradycardia. The guideline-directed goal is to reach the maximum tolerated dose (usually 25mg twice daily for patients over 85kg, or 12.5mg twice daily for lighter patients). Cardivas 6.25mg is the next step in this process.
What is the dose schedule for Cardivas 6.25mg?
Cardivas 6.25mg is taken twice daily — with breakfast and dinner — for consistency and to minimise postural hypotension. If up-titrating from 3.125mg, the 6.25mg dose is maintained for a minimum of two weeks before any further increase. For hypertension without heart failure, 6.25mg twice daily is a common starting dose, with titration up to 25mg twice daily based on response.
Should Cardivas 6.25mg be taken with food?
Yes. Food slows the rate of absorption of Carvedilol and reduces the risk of orthostatic hypotension. Taking Cardivas 6.25mg with your main meals is strongly recommended by prescribing guidelines. Do not take on an empty stomach. A consistent meal timing also helps maintain steady Carvedilol blood levels throughout the day.
Is Cardivas 6.25mg safe in patients with reduced ejection fraction?
Yes. Carvedilol is one of three beta blockers (along with bisoprolol and metoprolol succinate) with proven mortality benefit in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Cardivas 6.25mg forms the critical second step of the up-titration protocol. Large clinical trials including COPERNICUS and US Carvedilol Heart Failure trials demonstrated 35% reduction in all-cause mortality with Carvedilol.
Can Cardivas 6.25mg affect blood sugar levels?
Carvedilol at 6.25mg has a neutral to mildly beneficial effect on glucose metabolism, unlike non-selective beta blockers that can worsen insulin resistance. Studies have shown Carvedilol improves insulin sensitivity compared to atenolol or metoprolol. However, it can blunt tachycardia as a hypoglycaemia warning sign in diabetics — more frequent glucose monitoring is advised during initiation and dose changes.
How does Cardivas 6.25mg compare to Coreg 6.25mg?
Cardivas 6.25mg and Coreg 6.25mg are therapeutically identical — both contain Carvedilol 6.25mg. Coreg is the US originator brand sold at a premium. Cardivas from Sun Pharma is the generically equivalent substitute available at AllDayChemist at a fraction of the US retail price. Patients with heart failure requiring long-term Carvedilol therapy benefit significantly from the cost savings.
Is it safe to switch from Coreg 6.25mg to Cardivas 6.25mg?
Yes. Switching from Coreg to Cardivas 6.25mg is a straightforward generic substitution — both contain the same molecule, same dose, and same dosing frequency. The clinical effect is identical. Inform your cardiologist about the switch for documentation purposes. No dose adjustment or additional monitoring is required solely because of the brand change.

For patients requiring twice-daily dosing of this heart failure medication long-term, the annual savings can run into hundreds of dollars. AllDayChemist's direct manufacturer pricing, combined with free international shipping on qualifying orders, maximises the cost benefit.
What are the side effects of Cardivas 6.25mg?
Side effects at 6.25mg may be slightly more pronounced than at 3.125mg and include dizziness, fatigue, bradycardia, hypotension (especially on rising), weight gain, hyperglycaemia in some patients, and worsening heart failure (transient during initiation). Cold extremities from beta-2 blockade can occur. The side effect incidence is generally manageable with careful titration and monitoring.
What should I report to my doctor while on Cardivas 6.25mg?
Report any significant weight gain (more than 2kg in 48 hours), increasing breathlessness, swelling of ankles or legs, resting heart rate consistently below 55 m, blood pressure drops causing dizziness or falls, or hypoglycaemic epiSodiumes. These may indicate the need to slow the up-titration or adjust diuretic dosing. Regular cardiology follow-up is essential during Carvedilol initiation.
